Will this day be totally devoted to war and conquest or will there be room for other games . Of all the game systems i lack competence in , this is likely to one i am least competent at . Would prefer to try fire and fury that day but if that is not an option and if people don'T THink i will embarass the club anymore than those members who have already expressed an interest in attending on that day then i would give it a go

Army size: 2000 points. Armies should be selected from the scarab website online army organisation lists. You may include up to 250 points of Legends of War within the 2000 points.

If you have not yet confirmed your attendance or army preference, please let me know as soon as possible.

We intend to fit players into groups with a theme, these are as follows-

The Greeks and enemiesRome and their many enemies The Dark Ages

We intend to play 3 games, time permitting and so to help speed up play, the following deployments and objectives will be used. Attendees are urged to read the 'Battle Begins' section starting on page 153. You can download a set of cards with the Battle Objectives from our web site to speed up selection. Remember, 'No Plan Survives Contact with the Enemy' on page 159.

You may use Veiled Hand (page 158) in the games, should you so wish. As for a number of players this will be their first games, it would be polite to let your opponent know you are doing so.

TerrainItems of club terrain will be on the tables. Don't forget to select at least one Rally Point each. With that in mind, you will need to bring something to indicate your Rally Point, and if you wish to bring one or two items of terrain, that is absolutely fine.

Winning and LosingThere is no “street cred” in winning a game of toy soldiers. There will be a number of people who haven’t played much/at all, so please help them along and enjoy the day.

Finish timeAbout 5pm

Just wanted to say what a great day I had on Sunday, and special thanks to Phil for organising it. I thought it was a great success and would personally be very much up for another War and Conquest day, and for a few more Sundays having a bit longer to game. I'd certainly be up for hiring the hall for 3/4 Sundays a year.

Thanks also to Tony for letting me walk over his Late Romans in the final game. As Tony's Late Romans wiped my Anglo Saxons in my first ever WAB game, revenge was sweet, and only beating Reece would have improved the days gaming!

I'll be posting a few pics on my blog, but look forward to seeing some pics from people who brought better cameras.

As has already been said before, well done phil for a superb event. I really enjoyed my 3 games, although the only good troops i had in that dodgy army were the ones Phil said were "usless".

Always nice to grind Dyson under under my boots.

The only problem i had with the whole day was the prize giving. Naturally, when Phil announced that the youngsters are the future of our fantastic hobby i was a bit peeved not to pick up a blister. I mean, i'm pretty much fresh out of nappy stage compared to the rest of you.
